Discussion on Innova Construct Wordpress

Hi, my client and myself absolutely love the theme! I was wondering though, is it possible for the area on the homepage that pulls from the latest portfolio entries to pull from only 1 category? My goal is to always have the same three options there to be viewed. I hope you can help, and thanks in advance!

I had the same issue as cpds above. By pasting the following code right after the -start latest portfolio entries- line in the index.php file, I now have the latest 5 entries showing. It’s not category specific but the code to do that could easily be found. I disabled portfolio posts on homepage in the custom admin panel.

Here’s the code I used to add posts:
<?php query_posts(‘showposts=5’); ?>

Depending on what portfolio type you are using, the cat=$pcat_id_2 and cat=$pcat_id_1 retrieves the category. Replace the $pcat_id_2 or $pcat_id_1 with the id of the category you need. The category id is a number which is determined when you hover your mouse over the category name in the wordpress categories section. So for example paged=$paged&cat=7&showposts=$latest_entries_no will retrieve all entries that belong to the category that has id 7.

Hello,
I purchased the Innova Construct template and find myself changing the speed of the slide.
I tried to change the field in the file jquery.cycle speed but with little success.
How can I slow the speed of the slide?

Yes the theme doesn’t work properly with wordpress 3.1. I don’t think I am to blame for this since it’s impossible to anticipate wordpress core changes, but in the next few weeks I will update the theme to make it compatible with wordpress 3.1 too. Until then, please use the wordpress 3.0.5 version.

I will also update media consult wordpress – actually I will release major updates for both media consult and innova construct, will take 1-2 weeks but it will be worth the wait.

Fonts on headers are replaced with Anivers cufon. You can disable the cufon from the admin panel, then change the font on h1-h6 from css. Otherwise, if you need other font instead of Anivers, using the same cufon technique, then generate your the font js, paste it in js folder, then in header.php change this line:

I have decided to complete the Media Consult 2.0 first, then I will update Innova Construct. It will take me few more days to complete the update to Media Consult, then around 1-2 more weeks for Innova Construct update. Both are major updates that’s why they take me so much to complete.

I appreciate your previous assistance, you helped me make the area on the homepage that pulls from the latest portfolio entries to pull from only 1 category? My goal was to always have the same three options there to be viewed and your advice worked perfectly!

If it is possible could you tell me how to have those options link to a page rather than a post? I look forward to your feedback and thanks in advance as always!

You can make all those entries link to a page, but it can only be done by linking all of them to the same page, I don’t know a way to make each of those link to different page. In index.php, look for those 2 lines of code:

No estimated date yet but I just finished the Media Consult 2.0, now I will set up the new demo and re-write it’s documentation so that tomorrow I can send it for review. After that, I will start working on the Innova Construct update right away. You don’t have to worry that the update for Media Consult took me about 3 weeks to complete, because it won’t be the case for this one. I will take a different approach for this one by making a suite of updates for it, not 1 big update. The first update will fix the critical issues and assure compatibility with both wordpress 3.0 and 3.1. It will take me few days to complete it and I will announce it’s status on twitter: http://twitter.com/goldenwork

Unfortunately I won’t have time to add any new skins, but making a new skin starting from the existing ones is rather easy(they are controlled from a single css file).

Thanks for responding.
I’ve checked out your Media Consult theme, and I personally feel that Innova Consult is cooler =)

Just wondering if there’s a way to fully maximise the Nivo Slider’s image, while the text area be slightly transparent to reveal some of the image in its background … That might be even cooler still =)

The theme at this stage doesn’t support multiple portfolios of the same type, but in one of the following updates that will be released this month(April) you will be able to do so. I will announce the upcoming updates on twitter: http://twitter.com/goldenwork

The sidebar is widgetized so you can drag and drop widgets and fill them with whatever content you need. The homepage content is also editable, the welcome area is a textarea box in the admin to fill your content and you can also change the number of portfolio entries from homepage.

About navigation from left, if you are referring to the theme’s top menu, no, at least not from theme’s backend options. You can achieve this by editing the css styles though. If you were referring here to the sidebar, then yes, you can choose where you want the sidebar to appear, on left or right side from the admin.

Also I will mention that the theme doesn’t work on wordpress 3.1 right now(works on 3.0) but very soon I will submit updates to fix this and also extend its functionality.
